A few weeks ago, ASUS Philippines flew us to Bangkok, Thailand, to witness the regional launch of the new wave of Z170 motherboards that will support the new Intel Skylake processors. Under the Republic of Gamers (ROG) lineup, the company launched a total of four new Maximus VII motherboards comprising of Maximus VIII Ranger, Gene, Hero and Extreme, as well as two Z170 Pro Gaming series boards (Z170 Pro Gaming & Z170I Pro Gaming). The Taiwanese firm also launched a lone Z170 board under the premium TUF (The Ultimate Force) series, the Asus Sabertooth Z170 Mark 1. Most of the aforementioned features on the ROG mobos are also present on this board like support for NVMe SSDs and up to 22110 M.2 card, USB 3.1 with Type-A and Type-C ports. However, it lacked some key features like SupremeFX 2015 and GameFirst that are present on its ROG Z170 cousins. Of course, the Sabertooth Z170 Mark 1’s main feature is its military-grade armor that’s designed to withstand a fair amount of beating and maximize air flow to key components on the motherboard. Also present during the launch were the Asus Z170 Signature series boards which consist of Z170-Deluxe, and the Z170-A.
